"Well, I'll see you tonight then. 7.30 at the Liong's. It's on me."
"What a gentleman."
"Of course I am. It's our annual event and our fifth date anniversary"
"Sure. An advice: Don't be late! you know the consequences"
"Got it Chief"
Now you see, things just don't go right when needed. The meeting was a complete mess and I was forced to stay longer than I hoped to. Guess what? It's 7:26:34. No! No! No! You don't know what will happen if I'm late. Keep running, turn left and..
THIS ROAD IN CLOSED DUE TO MAINTENANCE. SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE.
Yup! Perfection! I'm gonna quote from Ho tun now: Doom!
"Not in a million years in forgiving you,road. Not in a million years you got me? Don't give up, Sokka you still have 3 minutes and 2 seconds ." I said to myself.
I took another route to the Liong's. A small alley and it smells, a lot.
"Come on Sokka. Think positively, you might still.. Ahh!"
I was just about to fill myself with hope when I stumbled on a stone and fell to a pool. The universe really loved me. I wonder that it had in store for me after this.
"Thank you universe" I said, with a cursing tone.
I kept going when I heard voices from behind and a cat ran pass me. I looked behind and there was a big, black, bad-looking, obnoxiously loud, hungry-looking domerman running towards me. I would never try to be sarcastic to the universe ever again.
"Ahhh!" I screamed and ran as fast as I could with the dog barking 2 metres behind me then, a little Cinderella tale happened, my left shoe slipped out. My second favorite and perfectly shined shoe, to be precise.
Well, that wasn't totally bad, because the dog stopped chasing me and started chewing my shoe. I turned around to look at my poor shoe in the dog's mouth when I realized I had 1 minute and 14 seconds left.
Now, tell me, what do you think when you see a tall man with a messy hair in a dirty clothes, not to mention stink, half bare footed running across the street? Bingo! Crazy person. Somebody take him back to the asylum! But I was too busy counting down to notice people on the street were already staring at me.
"7..6..5..4..3.. HOLY MOLY I'm here, baby!" I cheered as I walked in the restaurant.
All eyes faced me. Right. I was messy, dirty, and stinky, not crazy, just had a bad day. I grinned awkwardly to their stares.
The door behind me flung open. There stood an equally messing looking Toph. She was still wearing her metal uniform and her hair is out of her bun. "Am I late?" she asked, panting.
I smirked and patted her on her back. "No, you made it just in time to receive a week washing my dirty clothes and massaging me before bed. You're 7 seconds late, babe. Yes! Finally my turn! Hohoho!" I gave her a santa laugh. "Let's do this again next year."
There you go. I hope you like them. Sokka would have to wash Toph's metal armor if he were late, now you know why he was afraid. They're very busy, but a bet is a bet. Review please!
I'm still in a test week, so I'll post again next week because I'm forbidden to touch my laptop while studying. Bye for now!
